Qijiang Company is holding an emergency meeting.
Qijiang CEO Xu Donghan sat at the top, editor-in-chief Xu Yan, and small bosses from other departments sat at the bottom.
The topics of this meeting are:
"Should our company help "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China" with awards PR at the Beijing Film Festival?" Xu Donghan looked at Xu Yan, who was sitting on his right. "Editor-in-Chief Xu, what do you think?"
Xu Yan organized her words and answered seriously: "Our Qijiang Video Network seems to be the number one original video website in China, but it has been many years since we produced a phenomenal work such as "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China". The last time our film and television work won the Red Peony Award was ten years ago. If this continues, in two or three years, our position will be replaced by other emerging video websites."
Xu Donghan nodded and looked at the others: "What do you think? Tell us. We can speak freely today."
The head of the marketing department frowned and disagreed, "I admit that Editor-in-Chief Xu's concerns are reasonable, but, precisely because of this, we should increase our investment and invite domestic first-line directors and actors to produce award-winning films."
The head of the copyright department also nodded in agreement, "I agree. Although the performance of "Republic of China Literary Masters" is impressive, it is not our own drama, and the copyright is not in our hands. Our company only collects a share of the distribution, and the benefits of providing public relations for "Republic of China Literary Masters" to our company are minimal."
The heads of other departments also expressed their opinions, most of which were against it.
Xu Yan sighed heavily in her heart.
What a bunch of idiots!
During this period, the subscription share of "Republic of China Literary Masters" to their company must be at least 800 million star coins! And how much does it cost to publicize an award? At most, it is only tens of millions.
Take out this little money to do a favor for the Republic of China crew, and you will get more cooperation opportunities in the future and make more money!
If "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" fails to win an award this time, she can think of the requests made by other websites when they try to poach her - "Come to our website, we are not as stingy as Qijiang Video Network, we can help you win awards!"
How come these people don't even have a long-term vision? If Shi Jing and Li Jianye can make a "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China", then they can make a second one next!
Jun Bu Jian Shi Jing has already announced that they will be shooting a new movie, and the new movie will also use the original cast of "Republic of China Literary Masters".
With these veteran actors, at least the bottom line of the new movie is guaranteed. As for the upper limit, Xu Yan has confidence in Shi Jing. With the success of "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China", the box office of the new movie will not be too bad. If Shi Jing puts the new movie on other websites, Qi Jiang will suffer a great loss!
Although the industry is generally not optimistic about the young man Shi Jing, and quite a few people attribute the success of "Chronicles of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" to director Li Jianye, Xu Yan does not think so.
That day, Li Jianye said to Shi Jing on "Today's Big Show": "You are the only genius I have ever seen in my life. I have a feeling that "Records of the Republic of China's Writers" is probably the pinnacle of my directing career, and you are just getting started."
Many people took these words as a compliment, but she felt that Li Jianye was telling the truth.
She had seen "Little Man" and "Young Marquis of Fenglangjuxu", and she deeply understood how amazing the talent of the young man in his twenties was. If she didn't invest in him before his career took off, when he took off, many investors would give him money, and no one would look up to him.
Since ancient times, it has been easier to add icing on the cake than to provide timely assistance.
Xu Donghan glanced at Xu Yan, who was obviously trying to suppress her anger, and said, "Editor-in-Chief Xu, do you have anything to say?"
Xu Yan took a deep breath and laid out all her considerations, but she was interrupted by the head of the marketing department before she could finish her words.
"Preliminary investment?" The person in charge raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically, "Editor-in-Chief Xu, what are you talking about? The Chronicles of the Great Writers of the Republic of China was lucky this time, but luck is the most unpredictable. Do you think Shi Jing's new movie can repeat the myth of The Chronicles of the Great Writers of the Republic of China? You are going to spend hundreds of millions of dollars for this illusory luck? Isn't this a bit irrational?"
"If you had seen his previous works, you wouldn't say these words!" Xu Yan said solemnly, "Shi Jing is a talented young man, he is only 24 years old this year! His future is limitless! He has contributed more than half to the success of "Records of the Republic of China's Literary Masters". If we miss the opportunity to invest now, the loss in the future will not be just 100 or 200 million, but more than 10 billion, or even tens of billions!"
The head of the copyright department curled his lips and said bluntly, "Sister Xu, you are getting more and more outrageous, aren't you? Maybe Shi Jing is indeed a talented director, but there are many talented directors. We are running a company, not doing charity! I also understand that you want to win over talented young people in advance. If it is hundreds of thousands or millions, it's fine, but do you know how much the PR Red Peony Award costs? At least 50 or 60 million! Our company spent so much money just to buy a good impression?"
Xu Yan wanted to argue, but Xu Donghan waved his hand and said seriously, "Okay, you've heard it all. Your proposal is really inappropriate." He glanced at the terminal and said, "It's getting late. Let's end the meeting here today."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Xu Donghan paused, "Come in."
The door opened gently and Chizuru walked in with an excited look on her face.
Xu Donghan was a little impatient: "What's the matter?"
Qian He's voice was shrill and trembling, "The Chronicle of the Great Writers of the Republic of China has been published in Renren Daily!"
Xu Donghan was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What did you say?" He reacted: "Don't joke!"
"I'm not kidding, this is true. Today's Renren Daily published a review of "Records of the Republic of China's Literary Masters" on page 02!"
Everyone in the meeting quickly opened their terminals to check as if awakened from a dream. In the quiet meeting room, only Qianhe's excited voice echoed: "Renren Daily said that "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" is a rare main theme masterpiece this year. It vividly shows the different choices made by people from all factions in the Republic of China during the national crisis from a rigorous and thorough historical perspective. It fully demonstrates the sacrifices and efforts made by our party during the War of Resistance. It is an excellent patriotic masterpiece!"
Silence, deathly silence.
Even though Xu Yan had already seen the extraordinary potential of "Chronicles of Great Literary Men of the Republic of China", she never expected to receive praise from Renren Daily!
How old is Shi Jing? His first TV series was praised by Renren Daily. Such a high starting point must have attracted many jealous eyes.
Xu Yan suddenly laughed. At this point, "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China" doesn't need any PR. Before the awards ceremony, the official media came out to endorse it. If it doesn't win anything at the film festival, wouldn't that be a slap in the face of the official media?
The first to break the silence was Xu Donghan's cough. "Well, in that case, let's follow the party. Xiao Liu."
The head of the marketing department immediately nodded and said, "Mr. Xu, go ahead."
"I'll ask the finance department to transfer some money to your department, and you can do the award public relations for the "Records of the Great Writers of the Republic of China"."
"...Okay, Mr. Xu."
Xu Donghan thought for a moment and said, "Let's give the PR award for the best TV series."
"No problem, Mr. Xu."
Xu Donghan looked at his watch: "Is there anything else? If not..."
Xu Yan was anxious: "Wait a minute, Mr. Xu, I have something else to report."
"What's up?"
"It's like this, our website is holding a youth-themed video competition, and Director Shi Jing's work has been selected. And I just got the news that Director Shi's film has also been selected for the Starry Sky Award!"
Xu Donghan: “…”
After a while, "Xiao Liu..."
The head of the marketing department was sweating and said in a trembling voice: "I, I'm here."
Xu Donghan laughed dryly and said, "Well, see if you can give the public relations officer another Best Director award."
"……OK."
…
At the same time, Song Minghan, the program planner of CCTV Documentary Channel, received a call from his good friend An Yun.
"Old buddy, I heard that you are planning a documentary about traditional culture recently?"
Song Minghan was surprised: "Why, are you interested?"
"No, no, no, I'm busy with a movie recently, so I wanted to recommend someone to you. I originally wanted him to be the executive director of my next movie, but now I think I'm afraid I would be wasting his talent, so I thought of you."
Song Minghan was completely curious, "Who is it? I'm really curious that you think so highly of him."
"His name is Shi Jing. Although he has just entered the industry, he is very talented. The recently popular "Records of Literary Masters of the Republic of China" was co-produced by him and others, and the AI movie he shot this year was also selected for the Starry Sky Award."
Song Minghan suddenly realized: "So it was him. You worked so hard to promote him. What benefit did he give you?"
"There is no benefit at all. I just want to show my love for talent! I really can't bear to let such a talented person continue to waste time. Forget it, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. So, go to Qijiang Video Network and search for "Little People in Ancient Earth History". This is shot by Shi Jing, and it is also a documentary about history and traditional culture. You will understand after watching it."
Song Minghan chuckled: "Okay, since you've recommended it so hard, of course I'll take a good look at it."
After hanging up the phone, he immediately found "Little Man" on Qijiang Video Network and started watching it.
"Little People" has only updated ten episodes so far, each episode is ten minutes long, and the whole film takes just over an hour to watch.
Song Minghan's eyes became brighter and brighter, his scalp tightened, adrenaline was secreted in large quantities, and finally he was so excited that he wanted to jump up!
This is the documentary he wanted to make!
No wonder even the old fox An Yun is interested in this talented guy. Shi Jing is a genuine genius!
He originally wanted to invite Shi Jing as soon as possible, but after calming down, he became a little hesitant.
The directors of CCTV documentaries are all well-known directors in the industry, and without exception, these directors have used awards to prove their talents.
The boss would never agree to rashly invite a newcomer who has never won an award to direct a documentary.
So, let's wait a little longer. If Shi Jing's TV series and movies can win awards this time, he will encounter less resistance when he invites Shi Jing to be a director next time.
…
On September 15, the Beijing International Film Festival Red Peony Awards ceremony was held. A week later, the Starry Sky Awards ceremony was held.
Le Jing wore a black suit and walked on the red carpet of the Red Peony Awards alone.
The young man was wearing a black slim-fit suit, with clear eyes, a gentle and gentle smile, and a calm temperament. He walked through the noisy red carpet with a kind of quietness that was isolated from the world and independent of the world.
Judging from his looks alone, he is no worse than some young handsome guys. No wonder there were screams one after another on the red carpet where he walked for two weeks.
A curious reporter shouted, "Director Shi, why don't you have a female companion?"
Le Jing calmly replied: "Li Jianye doesn't want to wear women's clothes, what can I do?"
Reporters on both sides of the red carpet burst into laughter.
Roland had been waiting in front of the computer for a long time, so he naturally heard Shi Jing's humorous answer, and his originally heavy mood became a little more relaxed.
Well, even though I was just a runner-up, it was a rare opportunity to see Shi Jing dressed so handsomely, and it was a feast for the eyes.
Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Beijing International Film Festival slowly kicked off.
